<p>If self-driving vehicles can be used for petty burglary, eventually it will also be used for more serious crimes like contract murder etc.<p>Actually there is no way to find who is inside the vehicle. If the criminal covers his face, his hands (no DNA, Fingerprint) and uses stolen info (phone number, credit card), police will have a very tough time with such crimes.</p>

<p>I recently got free 5TB storage for one year with the Google AI Pro plan, as I had ported my SIM card to another carrier, new carrier had some sort of partnership with Google.<p>It was 2 TB originally, but fews days later on they just increased it to 5TB. Just bonker level of storage (for free).</p>

<p>The reason is basically that you are "required" to hire other "Indians".<p>If you get a job at a good company on your own merit, you immediately start getting calls to "refer" your college friends, family, people from your region/state.<p>Refer here means refer it to HR and make some "setting" that you are guranteed to be hired based on your "reference". 
Naturally reference would mean that considering you are an employee you would know about open positions and may refer the position to your friend, who would later on get the job on his own merit considering that he is skilled for the position along with required experience.<p>But the case for Indian employees is that a reference entails to scam the company itself, by letting a less skilled person into the company by making a "setting" with HR etc, who may themselves be from the same region/state.<p>And if you try to be morally upright person to deny such a scammy "reference", you would then get to listen verbal abuses from your friends and even from your own family members. To deny such a reference leads to straight up "banishment".<p>Tip:- Among 100 Indians if you see, only 1 or 2 are actually good at their job (or by morality).</p>

<p>Not every war can be fought from air, there needs to be soldiers on the ground.<p>In fight against ISIS, the Iraqi amry, Shia Militias, Kurds and others were ground forces while Allies were in Air. In Afghanistan & Gulf War, US forces were on ground.<p>But in these "conflict", no party is ready to send ground forces, ground forces to stop the air drones, ship drones etc. So the "blockade" will probably continue.</p>

<p>Interesting read. I always wondered from where did the idea about "thesis" & other "extra-circular" activities come from, for both students and professors.<p>Nowadays, promotions of professors for different levels (Assistant, Associate, Professor) is solely dependent on number of papers they are publishing in Q1 journals. 
But the research maybe entirely bogus, same ideas repurposed hundreds of times by different professors.<p>The entire concept about "systematic knowledge" has gone downhill.</p>

<p>If US government cared, they could have easily stopped it.<p>They can sanction the country if call centers do not stop, put tarrifs on them or simply just humiliate the country at world stage (UN) and within 24 hrs 90% of call centres will automatically stop.<p>A country like India which has hundreds of these call centres if threatened with sanctions, tarrifs, humiliation will quickly quickly stop them.</p>

<p>$5k is the right price for Tesla FSD v12.
If it is able to 'remember/recall' individual American roads from its database rather solely relying on neural nets then that would probably change the dynamics of FSD.</p>

<p>'Flood myths' possibly seen in China (Yellow river), Africa (Nile river) or Native Americas are quite different than the story of Noah and Manu.<p>Noah and Manu have the same characters and exact 'screenplay' in quite detail (only difference being the fish). Those who wrote the characters of Noah and Manu probably had same ancestors or the story travelled between Levant and Indus region.<p>It is the only the story from vedic writings that matches from the Hebrew bible. Other than this story as far as I know all Hindu texts differ.</p>

<p>Fun thing about the Noah 'story' is that the exact same story is present in Hinduism.<p>It goes something like, God selected a righteous person to help humanity survive the flood. He has this individual built a big ship in which humanity and animals can survive. The only difference in the story is that God took a form of small fish which grew larger as the flood date came close. In the end it became so big that it was able to steer the big ship during flood waves.<p><a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matsya" rel="nofollow">https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matsya</a></p>

<p>>Vincent also intended to make a career in China, but he had specific plans for his time in the U.S. Once, during a class discussion, he remarked that someday he would purchase both a car and a real firearm. The illegal airsoft pistol that he had acquired in high school shot only plastic pellets. In 2017, when Vincent ordered the gun, it had been delivered to his home at the bottom of a rice cooker, as camouflage.<p>If I ever visit America, like Vincent the second thing I am going to do is to visit an American gun range. 
I too wish to experience a real gun (semi-automatic or automatic) instead of air pistols.</p>
